That swimmer from Ireland appeared out of nowhere and won a bunch of upset Olympic medals that made people suspect that she was cheating. But one of her advantages was that she was one of the first to go to the all-body bathing suit which is now known to be significantly faster.

That particular swimmer was doping - and everybody knew it. She came out of nowhere and then got caught and disappeared. The full body suit has not been proven completely. Truthfully, you can't feel the water well enough.

The full body suit has not been proven completely.

So I guess the rules they passed against its use were unnecessary? And at the very least, the suits certainly don't provide any disadvantage. So the need for immodest suits was never a reality, but only imaginary.
